This three-day training class is designed for the advanced technical investigator and/or Collision Reconstructionist seeking to understand the advanced techniques needed for reconstructing heavy vehicle collisions. Upon conclusion of the class, the student should be able to evaluate a heavy vehicle's ability to stop, reconstruct a heavy vehicle's axle weight, calculate a dynamic vehicle rollover threshold, extract data from Heavy Vehicle Event Data Recorders, and follow the proper procedures for post-crash inspections. Completion of this class should better prepare the student to investigate heavy vehicle collisions and be successful in courtroom presentations.  

Eligible for 21 ACTAR CEUs

This three-day program is designed for patrol officers who frequently respond to traffic accidents.  Officers will learn how to conduct thorough on-scene investigations and properly document evidence for follow-up by an traffic crash accident if additional analysis is required.  This class will be fast paced and field intensive.  Students will demonstrate practical skills during numerous hands-on exercises.

Topics Included:  Traffic Crash Scene Management, Identification & Collection of Physical Evidence, Field Measurements, Scaled Diagram Preparation, New Vehicle Technology, Basic Speed Estimates, Basic Photography, Field Exercises

Eligible for ACTAR credits

This 40-hour block of training is designed for the advanced technical investigator and/or collision reconstructionist seeking to understand the advanced techniques needed for reconstructing heavy vehicle collisions. Upon conclusion of the class, the student should be able to evaluate a heavy vehicle's ability to stop, reconstruct a heavy vehicle's axle weight, calculate a dynamic vehicle rollover threshold, interpret extracted data from Heavy Vehicle Event Data Recorders and telematic systems, and follow the proper procedures for post-crash inspections. Completion of this class will also better prepare the student to be successful in courtroom presentations.  

Eligible for 35 ACTAR CEUs

This 8-hour training addresses the importance of vehicle lamps and tires as evidence in traffic crashes.  The traffic crash investigator will learn to recognize and interpret lamp and tire evidence and evaluate its importance in a traffic collision.   

In addition to classroom instruction, practical exercises will be used to give you “hands-on” experience.

This five-day program is designed for traffic crash investigators who require additional training in the pedestrian/bicycle/motorcycle field. During this training the traffic crash investigator will learn to identify and interpret physical evidence specific to these types of crashes.

ACTAR Credits pending

This four-day training offers further training into the history, development, and function of heavy vehicle digital forensics. The investigator’s expanded interpretation skills will assist in the completion of a situation-based crash reconstruction.  Topics included are:  Best practices used to access and document HVEDR data, HVEDR Data Available on Heavy Trucks, Use of OEM software/adapters, as well as the Synercon Forensic Link Adapter and TruckCRYPT software, Validation Testing  Case Analysis
